Following the strong engagement at our first session, we're back in October for Part 2 of our workshop series, this time diving deeper into a question many practitioners keep running into: how do GDPR certification and CE marking under the AI Act actually fit together?
These two frameworks are often confused, sometimes treated as redundant, sometimes as competing burdens. In practice, understanding where they overlap, where they diverge, and where real efficiencies can be found is crucial for compliance.
This session is not training. It's a working dialogue between practitioners and experts, built around:
- The complementarities (and tensions) between GDPR certification and CE marking
- Hands-on discussion on where compliance efforts can genuinely be streamlined
- Documentation challenges grounded in real-world experiences
- Open exchange with practitioners on what's actually working on the ground
If you're navigating both regimes and want a practical conversation this session is for you.
